Robin’s new cookbook is filled with innovative ideas, tips and recipes for your slow cooker, which include dips, pâtés, innovative soups, filling main courses and desserts. It’s also a great reminder that slow cookers are not only a convenient tool in the kitchen, but also amazing vessels for creating a countless array of unique and delicious recipes.

One fresh and novel idea among many included in Robin’s cookbook is her Puttanesca Pizza (pictured above). Homemade dough is placed into the vessel to create a deep-dish style pizza, which looks and tastes absolutely amazing. After about 20 minutes, it creates a beautiful aroma and, when it’s done, produces a perfect crust with a pillowy soft center. During cooking time, the toppings develop a complex taste and texture, creating the perfect pizza without a lot of work. I love this recipe and method for its ease and innovation, which is a common theme throughout Robin’s new cookbook, which includes other amazing recipes like caramelized onion soup, seitan ropa vieja, slow-cooker pho and french toast bread pudding.

hello! looks like i might be the first to commment?! my fave cookbook of robin's is "quick fix vegan" the first vegan recipe i tried came from that cookbook, Vietnamese tofu wraps, and after that, I was hooked!

Gosh, it's so hard to pick just one recipe. Right now my favorite recipe is skillet lasagna-so easy and so good.Also the truckstop risotto from "1000 Vegan Recipes".I've pinned on Pinterest, tweeted and shared on FB. Thanks.

Also, my favorite slow cooker recipe is actually the "recipes" (they're more accurately called "instructions") for cooking your own tomatoes and beans and stuff to freeze and use instead of cans, and also the homemade boullion cubes, all in the first section of The Vegan Slow Cooker.

My favorite of Robin Robertson's cookbooks so far is Quick Fix Vegan, we adapted her "Freeburgers" to be nut free (used sunflower seeds instead) and love that they were already gluten free so they are an allergy friendly choice for our family!

I made Robin's Black Bean Soup with Kale and Rice this morning. It turned out great. This is her Vegan on the Cheap crockpot recipe. I love this cookbook and all of her suggestions. I bought a breadmachine and have been making her bread recipe too!

As a new vegan, I don't own any cookbooks of my own yet, but I've been hoarding a copy of Robin's Vegan Planet that I checked out of the library for several weeks! Every recipe I've tried has been fantastic!

I echo what someone said earlier: my favorite slow cooker recipe is not really a recipe but a technique. I LOVE cooking dried beans in a slow cooker! There's no soaking required, and of course, cooking beans from dried yields a much tastier result – not to mention it's so much cheaper!

Oh wow! So glad I stumbled upon your blog! I too am vegan and dating a meat and potatoes type of guy. He does eat my creations and always talks them up to his friends which I think is adorable  But I am always looking for heartier dishes that will satisfy him. So glad I found your site!Fav slow-cooker recipe: There are so many…vegan chili, lentil soup (any soup really), rice pudding…I’m now hungry! It’s so easy and I love coming home after a long day at work to an already ready meal and my apartment smelling so divine!

I've been vegan for four years but I'm new to slow cooking! So far I have made chili from my own recipe, slow simmered for hours with beans, peppers, onions, mexican beer, etc. I'm really looking forward to this cookbook!
